Thanks guys we lived on the Mediterranean Bar on Explorer this year it was the perfect place to sit. It was quiet for the first four days but I think as more people discovered it, it became more and more crowded. Deck 10 sounds like it might be our place of residence on Discovery 2. Cheers

Hello everyone.

We were on Explorer earlier this year and spent a lot of time at the Mediterranean Bar at the back of the ship.

Heading out on Discovery 2 in January and wondered if there were any good places to sit outside and have a drink as there is no alternative to the Mediterranean Bar on board?

Thanks in advance

OMG! There was a fire onboard? Was it bad? A shame the cruise is cancelled but getting a full refund is great.

Getting a full refund is not great it's merely the very least you would expect.

I spent an unrecoverable £200 on hotel and train tickets which will not be compensated by TUI, all I got offered was £100 each voucher for future bookings

Worst thing being we only knew not to travel to Gatwick due to the Facebook group we are in. It took TUI until 1 pm to ring me, 2.5 hours after we were due to travel.

Thanks Pink. Nothing booked as yet, even Viator don't have a great deal of trips particularly if we are not there all day.

Just have to wait and see or try the markets if all else fails. Thanks for the reply

Cheers 

Hi Pink.

I noticed there are no excursions bookable for Freeport I emailed tui who assured me excursions would be available from the 3rd June which they are not.

What did you do in Freeport? Doesn't seem an awful lot to do particularly in 4 hours?

Cheers 

That's perfect for me thank you for your quick reply. Cheers 

Hi Guys.

Just a quick one regarding the drinks package. Not massive drinkers but wondered if anyone knew if you can get a Spiced Rum and Coke on the standard package without upgrading. Not expecting branded rum happy with anything really?

Many thanks in advance 

Hi All.

Am off on the Dream next week, would anyone happen to know how much the cabin safe will be to use for the week?

Many thanks in advance

Many thanks Pensioncruiser we don't have a balcony suite, this may be a daft question but are they European or American sockets?

Hi all!

Can someone here please tell me whether the sockets onboard in the cabins are UK, or will we need an adaptor? Will be on the Dream in September.

Many thanks in advance for any help.

Please excuse my ignorance, but can someone tell me what is the MDR?

Cheers

Ah ok it's starting to make more sense now. Thank you for your help!

Hi All.

I have a question regarding our first day when we board. We are on a 7 night cruise aboard the Dream starting in Palma. When we booked it mentioned time on this day to explore Palma, but I couldn't see how as we will be met at the airport and coached to the boat.

However having read a few bits and pieces on here, is there a shuttle service from the boat during that first day? 

We certainly hope so as would enjoy the chance to enjoy a bit of Palma. Can anyone here please help?

Many thanks in advance!

Hi Everyone.

We are heading out on our very first cruise on board the Dream in September.

We have only booked an inside basic cabin on decks 4/5

My question is this, there seems an option to change decks to either 6/7/10.

Is there any advantage to swapping or are we best of staying where we are? (We will have cabin allocated on arrival)

Any help and advice will be gratefully received.

Thank you in advance

Many thanks for the reply, were only on for a week, am thinking probably just to stay with the standard package at the moment, but we have a while to think about it.

Good afternoon everyone.

We are booked on the Dream for September this year, apologies for hijacking your thread but I wonder if you can help me?

I'm in 2 minds as to whether to upgrade the drinks package for my wife and I. She is a g and t girl and I enjoy spiced rum, as well as a pint or 2 of cider.

Will the standard drinks package work for us, bare in mind at home we don't buy premium brand drinks.

Any help would be great thank you all
